The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 70 What's More Important?

"Do you know where the star core is?" Meng Huaifeng's question went straight to the point.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I really didn't know that, but I already know how to find out the location of the star core." Sangbo shrugged, feeling somewhat relieved.

In fact, he was only a little bit away from finding out the location of the star core, but he thought it would be better for the protagonist to uncover the final mystery, so he temporarily stopped trying to find out more.

Thankfully, it stopped. Otherwise, the nameless guest could have ended the game as soon as he arrived, rendering all my preparations useless and leaving me with no fun at all.

Now, with my silver tongue, I can tell the truth while persuading them to continue following my script, and I might just be able to bring this drama to a perfect close.

Sangbo was scheming, while Meng Huaifeng frowned, deep in thought.

“Huaifeng, ever since we got on the train you’ve seemed hesitant and conflicted. What’s wrong? You can tell us if you have a problem, and we can all work together to figure it out,” Walter asked.

“I… Uncle Yang, I know the approximate location of the star core, and I also have the Heavenly Inquiry Technique, which can also reveal the exact location of the star core.” Meng Huaifeng remained silent for a moment before deciding to speak.

“I understand. You clearly have a way to solve the problem quickly, but you’re worried about ruining everyone’s exploration experience, so you’re unsure whether to use it or not, right?” Walter pushed up his glasses.

“Yes, Uncle Yang is right. He also said three months ago that finding the target and solving the target is too simple and boring. It’s not enough to explore new possibilities.” Meng Huaifeng nodded.

"Huh? Is it because of me? Thank you, Huaifeng," March 7 said, touched.

“What are your thoughts?” Walter asked.

"I don't know," Meng Huaifeng said, somewhat bewildered.

"If you don't use your abilities, then according to the procedure, we need to inquire about information from the locals, befriend or antagonize local forces, be trusted, be misunderstood, or even be wanted. All of these things can happen. We will make many friends, overcome many obstacles, and finally find out the location of the star core, solve the problem, and become the savior of this world."

"Everything in this process is full of unknowns, which is fascinating, exciting, and thrilling. This is the adventure that all the nameless travelers have been looking forward to for a long time." Walter took a few steps forward and raised his head slightly to look at the distant sky.

Even he, an old man nearing a hundred years old, was tempted by such an adventure, let alone the impetuous young nameless travelers.

As Walter described it, longing appeared in the eyes of Meng Huaifeng, March 7th, and Xing.

“If you use your power, we can resolve the crisis immediately. There will be no more dramatic adventures, no more friends to share hardships, and perhaps no one will even know that we saved the world.” Walter turned around and looked at the three little ones.

"Then wouldn't we have gained nothing?" March 7th asked tentatively.

“No.” Meng Huaifeng shook his head: “We resolved the crisis ahead of schedule, saving the lives of strangers who might have died in the crisis in the next few days.”

"That's right." March 7th suddenly realized.

"So, in your hearts, which is more important: a potentially exciting adventure or the lives of an unknown number of strangers?" Walter posed a soul-searching question.

"Human life!"

Without much hesitation, the three answered in unison. On the train, Dan Heng, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, smiled slightly.

“I think, Huaifeng, you should already have the answer in your heart.” Walter smiled slightly.

Meng Huaifeng looked at March 7 apologetically: "Sorry, March, I might ruin your exploration experience again."

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm someone who doesn't know what's important?" March 7th said, hands on her hips. "Besides, resolving the crisis ahead of time doesn't mean we can't continue to deal with the locals. It's just a different way of developing our relationships. What's the big deal?"

“March is always reliable when it comes to important matters!” Xing praised.

"Of course." March 7th proudly raised his chin: "Huaifeng, use it in this situation in the future, don't worry about anything else, after all, saving lives is like putting out a fire. However, don't use it casually except to save the world."

“No problem. Even if I were so anxious about a problem that I was losing my hair, I wouldn’t use it.” Meng Huaifeng joked a little.

"That won't do. If the problem can't be solved, we still have to use it!" March 7th said hurriedly.

Listening to everyone's words, Sangbo suddenly felt a little numb. If you all do this, the high-class entertainment that I spent several years preparing will be ruined. The play will end before it even begins, and I won't even get to be the clown.

No, no, we can't do that. If word gets out, old Sambo will become a laughing stock.

"Heroes, let's discuss this. How about we go through some procedures? You can just take action directly, and who will know that you're the ones who saved the world? I guarantee I'll speed up the process for you. You can save the world in just a few days, and then you'll become the great heroes and saviors of the entire Beloborg. What do you say?" Sambo said with a humble smile.

"No, lives are at stake. The environment in Yalilo VI is so harsh, and there's even a rift. Who knows how many people will die if we delay for a few days?" March 7 refused without hesitation.

“Even if you solve the problem of the star core, the harsh environment and rifts here won’t disappear immediately, and people will still die.” Sambo continued to try to persuade the pioneering team.

“However, the time when they completely disappear in the future will be a few days earlier. This difference of a few days may allow people who would not have survived to live on,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"How about this, I, old Sambo, will work a little harder and lead the way for you while wandering around the border area. I guarantee that no one will die in the next few days, how about that?" Sambo was really going all out.

"Not so great, I think you want to get beaten up again." Xing pulled out a baseball bat and was about to hit Sambo.

Sambo lay on the snow in despair: "Just kill me already. What's the point of me living if there's no fun? Meeting you guys is the worst luck I've ever had. Meng Huaifeng, you really deserve to die. How can we Masked Fools survive if you act like this? No lies, no process, where are we supposed to find fun? The god of fun must be blind to have blessed you like this."

“You’re right, I also think He’s blind,” Meng Huaifeng agreed.

“Perhaps, this is what amuses Him,” Xing said, making a startling statement.

Two lines of clear tears streamed down Sambo's face. This is too much! Lezi Shen is too much!
You've robbed us of our fun for your own amusement; you don't deserve to be called the god of fun!

“Then, shall we begin?” Walter said.

"Mm." Meng Huaifeng nodded.
